What to Expect from Wedding Trends in 2025: Fresh Inspiration for Modern UK Couples
Planning a wedding in 2025? You’re in for an exciting ride. The world of weddings is evolving rapidly, and this year’s trends are all about creativity, colour, and personal expression. Whether you’re planning a chic city ceremony in London or a relaxed countryside celebration, the latest wedding trends offer plenty of inspiration.
As leading UK wedding planners reveal, 2025 is shaping up to be a year of bold choices, immersive experiences, and unforgettable moments. Let’s dive into what you can expect.
1. Retro is Back — But with a Twist
Couples are embracing vintage nostalgia in fresh, modern ways. From Super 8-style wedding films and vinyl-spinning DJs to vintage fashion details and film photography, 2025 weddings are mixing old-school aesthetics with current-day personality.
“We’re seeing a real shift toward storytelling that reflects the couple’s vibe, not traditions,” says Matthew Oliver, luxury destination wedding planner.
2. Themed Wedding Weekends
2025 couples aren’t stopping at just one day. Multi-day wedding experiences are on the rise — and themes are getting more creative than ever. Think Friday night BBQs with dress codes, Saturday recovery brunches, or festival-style garden parties.
“These extra events are becoming as styled and memorable as the big day itself,” says planner Katrina Otter.
3. Vibrant Colours Take Over
Say goodbye to beige! 2025 wedding colour palettes are bold, dynamic, and joyful. From rich greens and vibrant pinks to sunset-inspired palettes and playful colour blocking, couples are using colour to express their story.
“Colour is no longer a detail – it’s the headline,” shares Studio Sorores.
4. It’s All About the Experience
The best weddings in 2025 aren’t just beautiful – they’re immersive. Live music, interactive food stations, roaming performers, artist installations… nothing is off the table.
“Couples want their guests to walk away talking about the entire experience,” says Pocketful of Dreams.
“It’s about creating a relaxed, inclusive, and stylish atmosphere where everyone feels welcome,” adds Kristina Kempton.
Whether it’s a live painter capturing the ceremony, a saxophonist surprising guests on the dance floor, or a tasting menu curated by a top chef, the focus is on wow moments.
